Formation Group Tutors play a vital role in supporting students at the college; each student on an accredited course or on the Peter or Caleb Stream will be part of a Formation Group and will be allocated a Formation Group Tutor. Formation groups will meet at various points throughout the year and help to provide a sense of belonging and community. Your Formation Group Tutor will be your first point of contact for accessing support.

The Disability Support Officer will work closely with the Centre Administrators and other relevant members of the team to ensure that reasonable adjustments are made to enable those with physical disabilities, medical conditions, or other accessibility needs to engage fully with the life of the college.

This may include ensuring you have an accessible room at residentials or retreats, reserving a seat or space in lecture rooms or providing academic resources in alternative formats. Sharing what support you would find helpful with your Formation Group Tutor or the Disability Support Officer will enable us to work together to set you up to flourish during your studies at St Mellitus College.
